THE REAL VARMINT DOG. Bell is a feisty, confident little dog with extreme prey drive--our top ratter. Though Bell does not practice her hunting and agility skills in the show ring, she lives them every day here at home. She is constantly on the hunt…a snake-shaking, tree climbing squirrel dog, gun wise and gun excited. The leader of our trio of Ratties. Her tail is always up. She is our smallest Rat Terrier, but she is the Alpha Dog.
We feel that Bell has a lot to offer the breed. She exemplifies the real working rat terrier. A superb little farm dog around our pond. All in a beautiful, small, easy to live with, package that is soooo worth preserving.
Just a great little dog…For the way we live.

59 February 2016, nursing two-week old pups.
60 A very nasty snake bite. Got her eye. We heard her down in the woods, alone, barking, then yelling. Back outdoors the next day--doing what she does. A real snap-back dog. A terrier. Yes, we take care of her, but allow her freedoms.
61 Still sporting her nasty snake-bite injured head, she is out snake hunting. It is what she loves.
62 Less than 24 hours after the nasty snake bite, she is back at it.
63 Snake bite edema.
64 Snake bite edema (swollen throat).
65 Bell held this squirrel in a tree from 7:30 am until we returned home at 1:00 pm. She is incessant.
